Bibliography:
Includes bibliographical references and index.
Summary:
"The industrial
food
system is a major contributor to environmental,
social
and economic problems. A few powerful multinational corporations have consolidated control of agricultural markets and wealth while many farmers struggle to make a living and millions of people go hungry every day. Consumer access to healthy and culturally appropriate
food
remains largely an option for only those who can afford it. Responding to these destructive practices, global agrarian movements are calling for a transition to agroecology. Agroecological farming follows ecological principles for growing
food
in a way that respects diverse sociocultural contexts, connects urban eaters and rural growers and attends to power dynamics. 'Growing and eating sustainably' shines light on the process of agroecological transition by showcasing the experiences of growers and eaters in southern
Brazil
, a country where agrarian movements have long been at the forefront of pushing for more sustainable and just
food
systems. Through stories and photographs of people, landscapes, farms and farming practices, and urban spaces, this book communicates how to advance systems-level agroecological transitions by linking rural and urban areas and connecting diverse agroecological experiences."
